Michael,
You got me there. I thought by OS you meant "out of state". "overseas" is
a little different. I don't know what to tell you, except that you should
be able to tell from what was said in the group here, that they don't give a
fig about customer support - so you can guess how they probably feel about
taking care of non-customers.
I'm trying to fix the same problem with our web email provider (they had
spam go out on one of their servers) - most servers are accepting our email
again, but a few still haven't got the message.
Good luck!
Gary

Talking of Ameritech, can anyone suggest a way of getting in contact with
their technical support to resolve a problem I have connecting to their mail
server. I would prefer not to make an OS phone call.
When our mail server tries to connect we get :-
421 Connection refused from <our_ip_address>
I have done some testing and it is only this one address that seems to get
blocked. The story from the previous administrator is that our company sent
a virus to some Ameritech subscribers many years ago and we got our address
blocked.
I have tried sending mail to postmaster@..., but I think these
just go to /dev/nul. At the moment the person we need to send to uses
hotmail to get around the problem. I've even considered getting my fixed-IP
changed to get around the problem. I have also tried faxing and leaving a
message on their web page.
Thanks

Been there. What they did to me is too much to get into here (and involves
a lot of profanity). By the way, I'll bet you didn't know that the word
"Ameritech" is directly derived from a word used by the Indians living in
the Ohio Valley during the early 1800's to describe children of settlers
playing with two tin cans and a string. The indians believed the process
drained the participant's life-force. Prophetic, no?

Good luck with Ameritech. We got great pricing on a T-1, but Ameritech.net
is the only game in town if you want an ISP to go with that great pricing.
Of course you get gouged using them for an ISP. Other ISP's are cheaper but
they have to go to Ameritech for the T-1 and can't get the good price.
Amazing how that works isn't it.
I would use two tin cans and a string before I depended on Ameritech. If
they had competition in Ohio they would be out of business in a month.
